[ her eyes go back to her arms, roaming over each and every spot of decay with growing unease. ]

Then someone else... I don't know who this could be coming from.

[ ... ]

I need to find them, and make sure they're okay.

[oathic]

... That's a good idea. Might be worth checking in with Galo or Luna as well—if someone's been injured, they may have gone to one of those two first.

[infire]

[ she nods. ]

Right. I... I'll do that.

...But I really hope it's just an illusion.

[ no one deserves to feel that kind of pain. even now it's hard to forget it, seven years after the fact. that kind of trauma doesn't get erased so easily. ]

[oathic]

... Hopefully. A person's arms shouldn't randomly start rotting, at least...

[infire]

[ you see why she was lowkey panicking ]

But it did. So why would it? I thought...

[ sagara would be responsible. why wouldn't she think that? but what does that say about this place? ]

[oathic]

That's something only the person in question can answer, most likely.

[ master blue is the first one who comes to mind, but. ]

I'll ask, when I find them.

[ hahahaha wow, everything is awful. she shakes her head, as if trying to shake off the trauma. she may have been going to find agni soon, anyway, if not for this. ]

Before I do... I talked to Hunter and Pumpkin. There's no way to save Meltryllis, none that we know of yet.

...And she knows that we know it was her.

[oathic]

... I see. That complicates things... but it doesn't change anything either, in the end.

[what must be done must be done.]

Do you know how she knows?

[infire]

Apparently someone told her. I'm not sure if she's aware of exactly who knows, but...

[ she'll meet his eyes then, pleading. ]

It means she'll be ready for you. So please... be careful.

[oathic]

Someone? One of us?

... I will. Don't worry, Brilith.

[infire]

Hunter said "he". Apparently that person confronted her about it on his own.

[ maybe she should have asked for more... but it's too late now. so she just nods slowly. she always worries; agni knows that. ]

I trust you. [ another glance at her hands makes her shiver. ] I should go.

[ so. unless he stops her, she's going to go find the source of the decay. that'll be fun lmao. ]
